Leading mechanical and electrical services contractor, Mercury, was appointed to complete the electrical installation and commissioning for a major new corporate data centre in Dublin. To accommodate the 29 people who would be based on site, Mercury needed to provide robust, secure office, canteen and toilet facilities for the year-long project.

Ed Kelly, Site Engineer for Mercury Engineering, says: “Allspace anti-vandal cabins met all of our requirements and budget, and Allspace could provide the quick turnaround we needed to meet our delivery deadline.”

The galvanised steel buildings from Allspace are corrosion resistant, low maintenance and built to withstand the rigours of busy construction sites. Window shutter guards, reinforced doors and anti-jemmy strips prevent unauthorised entry and keep valuable contents safe. The buildings are well insulated, heated and well-ventilated to provide year-round comfort.

Mercury hired seven, 30-foot office buildings, a spacious canteen and a toilet block. Uneven ground on the site meant that a concrete plinth had to be constructed to create a level base for the cabins. To maximise the limited space available, Allspace was able to double stack the buildings.

Allspace offered a complete project-management service, which covered everything from providing method statements and site surveys through to managing the installation, supplying cranes, riggers, banksmen and fitters.

To meet the strict health and safety standards of the client, Allspace carried out thorough risk assessments and followed strict safety procedures throughout the delivery and installation process.

The complete office and welfare complex was installed and ready for use in time for the start of the works. Mercury later hired two additional 40-foot canteen buildings for the site.

Allspace offered a free maintenance service as part of the hire contract, ensuring its anti-vandal buildings provided comfortable, secure accommodation for the duration of the project.

“We are happy with the quality of the site buildings supplied for this high-profile project. The service provided by Allspace met all of our requirements and the site installation was managed safely and professionally.” Ed Kelly, Site Engineer, Mercury Engineering
